The bulb is very, very expensive for its price.
Instead of Wi-Fi, it connects with Bluetooth and forces you to spend an extra 60 euros to get the device that connects it to the internet.
There are much more affordable options that don't require extra devices to control it from a distance.
Also, it didn't provide any additional light in the room compared to the cheap smart bulb I had.

I had an 800-lumen Philips Hue for years in a dark room of about 12 square meters, and it didn't have enough intensity, the brightness was annoyingly low.

I had been eyeing the 1600-lumen one for a while, but I postponed it due to the price. Eventually, I bought it and it made a huge difference in the room's brightness.

I'm not posting photos because it's really difficult to understand, but up close, there is a significant difference.

4 stars because no matter what, €80 is too much for a light bulb.

Model with 800 lumens*
Excellent and high-quality construction with sufficient brightness that, through the Philips Hue Bridge and the free Philips Hue application, unlocks millions of colors and scenarios.
A. For mobile, the main free application is Philips Hue, which requires the Philips Hue Bridge to fully utilize the Hue lighting.
There are also other notable third-party applications such as:
1. Hue Essentials (Costs about 6 euros and if you don't use the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box, it is a good solution to synchronize image and music on your mobile with your Hue lights.
2. Huegasm (Costs about 5 euros and is an application only for music, but it is worth more than the Hue Essentials application due to better light settings.
I personally use both, the first one for movies-Youtube and the second one for music, and I am fully satisfied with my mobile experience.
B. For the laptop, there is the free Philips Hue Sync application, with which you can synchronize:
1. Scenes
2. Games
3. Music
4. Video
This specific application fully covered my needs for the laptop, and I didn't have to pay for any extra applications.
C. For the TV, it is essential to have the Philips Hue Bridge and the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box or by connecting the TV with at least Version 2 HDMI (for better response), you can synchronize your Hue lighting with the TV through the free Hue Sync application on the laptop.
I am already the owner of:
1. Philips Hue Bridge
2. Philips Hue Smart Dimmer Switch
3. Philips Hue White And Color Ambiance Single Bulb E27
4. Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Play Light Bar 2-pack
5. Philips Hue Smart Lightstrip 2m White and Color Ambiance Plus base pack
All of the above lighting devices will be reviewed, so if you are interested, check each one and get informed.
Update: 2 years later, the bulb started emitting a slight buzzing noise, which, although not intense, may bother some people.
Apart from the buzzing, there are no other issues, it functions like the first day.
Prefer the 800 lumens for the bedroom.
The 1100 for the kitchen.
The 1500 for the living room.

I had to replace a Hue 1st gen with a brightness of 800lm with this one for use in the living room. Certainly, the increase in brightness changed the space but it is very expensive. Generally, all Hue lights are pricey but this one is even more so.
